This jam is now over. It ran from 2025-06-29 08:00:00 to 2025-07-07 06:00:00. View 80 entries

Making good games is overrated! Instead of trying to make games that are perfect, polished, and fun, let's make games that are broken, unfinished, and interesting. This game jam is about having fun making games NOT making games that are fun. Here's some tips:

  • Don't like making tutorials? Explain nothing!
  • Did you really want to spend an afternoon making an options menu?
  • Planning is for winners (aka don't do it)!
  • Make big mistakes and laugh about them later.
  • Don't worry about running out of time. Even a feeling is a complete submission!
  • Bugs? Woah cool!
  • Janky physics and controls? Great!
  • All graphics are optional
  • All gameplay is optional
  • Whole game is optional
  • The game jam is NOT optional!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is not a specific theme other than it should fit your definition of 'bad' and be fun for you to make.

Let's do some bad games! Intentionally and unintentionally!
